% Registry Quota In Use Performance Monitor counter = 100% - server 2003 SP2 Enterprise 32 bit

I first posted this in May, but can't find that post in these newsgroups
anymore.

We've since found a solution, which is to set the registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\RegistrySizeLimit

to hex ffffffff.

Since making the above setting on all the Terminal Servers, we have not had
this problem again.

The symptoms were:
1. when logging on to a Terminal Server, the user gets told that their
Roaming Profile can not be loaded
2. Performance Monitor shows that the % Registry Quota counter is at 100%
3. Application Event Log entries:
Source: Userenv
Event ID: 1505
Description: Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you
on with the default profile for the system.
Detail - Insufficient system resources exist to complete the
requested service.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
